The Business of Wildfire

FIRE READY, a wildfire prevention business based in Southwest Colorado, announces franchise offerings throughout Colorado and the West. Package includes equipment, marketing, extensive training, and support.

Wildfire resistant landscaping reduces wildfire risk for homes located in the wildland-urban interface by removing fuels, breaking-up vegetation, and creating a safety zone for firefighters.

The Missionary Ridge Fire immediately passed over several FIRE READY homes. The canopy fire licked at the edges of the wildfire resistant landscape and moved to a slow-burning ground fire. Unfortunately, neighboring properties without defensible space burned.

Nearly 1.3 million people live in high-risk areas in Colorado alone. The public demand for this service, along with fuel-laden forests, make this business timely. FIRE READY currently runs three crews out of the Durango/Cortez area and recently sold its first franchise in Pagosa Springs.
